Vikings at Bears: Pioneer Press predictions

Bears 20, Vikings 10 -- The Vikings haven't won in Chicago since 2007. Cutler practiced on Friday, and Harvin is unlikely to play. That's a bad recipe for the Vikings in a game they'd love to have.

BRIAN MURPHY:

Bears 23, Vikings 17 -- The Vikings proved they could survive without Harvin for one game, but their luck runs out with Cutler calling signals at Soldier Field, where they have one victory in the past 10 years.

TOM POWERS:

Bears 27, Vikings 17 -- The Vikings are on a roll and the Bears have some injury problems, but this stilli is Soldier Field where Minnesota traditionally struggles. Plus, the Bears still have Devin Hester, a Vikings killer of the first order.

Bears 17, Vikings 10 -- The 49ers' 32-7 drubbing of Chicago in San Francisco on Monday means the Bears have to be especially hungry against Minnesota on Sunday. Had Chicago won in San Francisco, the Vikings would have had a much better chance.
